Remembrance events are a time for reflection, for thanks and for respect for those who gave up their lives or suffered for the common good. however we never forget those who have suffered fighting for their country, which is easy to see in the outpouring of remembrance every November 11th and with the passing of the last soldiers who fought in WW1 earlier this year.
The modern wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have brought home just how easy it is to take our lives for granted, and as we reach the 100th death in Afghanistan in this year alone, there has been an outpouring of remembrance and thanks to those soldiers who still fight for our protection. At events held around the nation, people have been publicly remembering those they knew and strangers that have served, died or been injured in a war. Keynote speakers can create even more of an atmosphere by telling us about their first hand experience in the war and their touching accounts of their fellow soldiers.
Keynote speakers are often thought of as third rate celebrities who will do any event so long as they are being paid. But keynote speakers who have served in the armed forces and experienced warfare, injury and battle speak at events like these. They make the reality seem even more real, they bring it home just how dangerous war can be, even with all of the technology and equipment that are used in modern warfare.
But at these events, the keynote speakers want o give their audience a sense of hope and pride and optimism in the work that the soldiers do and have done, because without them, the UK would not have achieved its standing as a leader in the global community. They demonstrate how our military efforts have made us one of the fairest democracies in the world and we keep on fighting to preserve our democracy from those countries that would see us fall.
